Where to Get Ultherapy + Thermage Combo in Seoul?
RE:BERRY Gangnam is one of Seoul’s premier dual-certified clinics for the Ultherapy + Thermage combination treatment. Located 2 minutes from Gangnam Station (Line 2, Exit 10), the clinic holds official certifications from both Merz Aesthetics (Ultherapy Prime) and Solta Medical (Thermage FLX). The same-day combo protocol treats the deep SMAS layer with micro-focused ultrasound and the dermis with monopolar radiofrequency — delivering both lifting and tightening in a single 2-3 hour session with zero downtime.
Seoul is the undisputed global capital of non-surgical aesthetic medicine, and the Ultherapy-Thermage combination has become one of the most requested procedures among both local patients and medical tourists. The concentration of specialized clinics, competitive pricing, and physician expertise makes Seoul the optimal destination for multi-device protocols. Within Seoul, the Gangnam district is home to the highest density of aesthetic clinics in Asia — and among these, RE:BERRY Gangnam stands out for its breadth of genuine, manufacturer-certified devices. The clinic operates over 30 devices across lifting, tightening, skin rejuvenation, laser, and body contouring categories, all housed in a 14,000 sq ft facility in the KI Tower building on Gangnam-daero. For the Ultherapy-Thermage combination specifically, the treatment begins with Ultherapy Prime, the latest-generation micro-focused ultrasound system from Merz Aesthetics. The device delivers acoustic energy to discrete focal points at three depth settings: 1.5mm (superficial dermis), 3.0mm (deep dermis), and 4.5mm (SMAS fascial layer). The SMAS is the structural tissue that connects facial muscles to the overlying skin — the same layer plastic surgeons manipulate during surgical facelifts. Ultherapy is the only non-invasive device with an FDA-cleared lifting indication. The integrated DeepSEE visualization system provides real-time ultrasound imaging of tissue layers, ensuring millimeter-precise targeting. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, every Ultherapy pulse is guided by DeepSEE — Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu verifies tissue depth before energy delivery. Following Ultherapy, the protocol immediately transitions to Thermage FLX, the fourth-generation monopolar radiofrequency system from Solta Medical. Thermage delivers volumetric heating across the entire dermal layer (0.5-3.0mm), causing instant collagen fiber contraction for an immediate tightening effect, followed by sustained neocollagenesis over 3-6 months. The FLX generation features AccuREP auto-calibration — the device measures tissue impedance for every pulse and adjusts energy delivery in real time. This makes Thermage FLX significantly more comfortable and consistent than previous generations. The 600-shot full-face protocol covers the forehead, temples, periorbital region, cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline, jowls, and submental area in approximately 45-60 minutes. The combination protocol takes 2-3 hours total including numbing time. There is no overlap in thermal injury zones — Ultherapy targets the deep SMAS while Thermage targets the superficial-to-mid dermis — making the sequential same-day protocol both safe and synergistic. Seoul’s public transit system makes accessing RE:BERRY Gangnam exceptionally convenient: Gangnam Station (Seoul Metro Line 2, a direct connection from Seoul Station, Myeongdong, Hongdae, and Incheon Airport via AREX transfer) is a 2-minute walk from the clinic. Patients staying in Myeongdong, Itaewon, or Hongdae can reach Gangnam Station within 20-30 minutes. The clinic operates 365 days a year, including Korean national holidays, with 8-language support (English, Japanese, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Thai, Vietnamese, Mongolian, and Farsi). For medical tourists who have limited time in Seoul, RE:BERRY offers same-day consultation and treatment — arrive in the morning, complete the dual protocol by afternoon, and resume sightseeing by evening with zero downtime. The clinic’s proximity to Gangnam’s shopping and dining district means you can explore Garosugil, COEX Mall, or the Bongeunsa Temple within walking distance after your treatment. RE:BERRY also provides injectable treatments including Botox and fillers that can be added to the combo session for comprehensive facial rejuvenation in a single visit.

Your Dual Lifting Journey in Seoul at RE:BERRY Gangnam
A four-step same-day protocol from consultation to aftercare.
Consultation & DeepSEE Tissue Mapping
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu performs comprehensive facial analysis using Ultherapy’s DeepSEE real-time ultrasound visualization. This imaging reveals the exact depth of your SMAS layer (which varies from 2.5mm to 5.2mm across facial regions), skin thickness, and areas of maximum laxity. Based on this assessment, Dr. Ryu creates a personalized dual-device treatment map specifying Ultherapy shot placement and Thermage coverage zones. The consultation is complimentary and available in 8 languages.
Ultherapy Prime — SMAS Layer Lifting
After 30-45 minutes of topical numbing, Dr. Ryu delivers Ultherapy Prime micro-focused ultrasound energy at precisely calibrated depths. The 4.5mm transducer targets the SMAS fascial layer for structural lifting, the 3.0mm transducer addresses the deep dermis, and the 1.5mm transducer treats the superficial dermis. Each pulse is guided by DeepSEE imaging to ensure optimal tissue targeting. Shot counts range from 100 to 530 depending on the treatment plan, with the full-face protocol taking 60-90 minutes.
Thermage FLX — Dermal Tightening
Immediately after Ultherapy, the protocol transitions to Thermage FLX. The monopolar RF device delivers volumetric heating across the entire dermis using the 4.0cm2 treatment tip. AccuREP technology automatically calibrates energy for every pulse based on your tissue impedance, optimizing both efficacy and comfort. The 600-shot full-face protocol systematically covers every zone — forehead, temples, periorbital, cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline, jowls, and submental area — in 45-60 minutes. Vibrating handpieces make the treatment notably comfortable.
Recovery & Seoul Exploration
A soothing post-treatment mask is applied, and you receive aftercare instructions in your preferred language. There is zero downtime — no bandages, no swelling, no restrictions. Most patients leave the clinic and immediately explore Gangnam’s restaurants, cafes, and shopping. RE:BERRY is steps away from Garosugil, COEX Mall, and Bongeunsa Temple. A follow-up assessment at 3 months ensures optimal results, which can be conducted remotely via video call for international patients.

Evidence for the Ultherapy + Thermage Combo Protocol
Peer-reviewed research supporting the dual-device multi-layer approach for facial rejuvenation.
The Multi-Layer Aging Paradigm
Contemporary understanding of facial aging recognizes that gravitational descent, volume redistribution, and skin quality deterioration occur simultaneously across multiple tissue planes. The SMAS fascial layer provides structural support for the overlying fat compartments and skin; as it loses tensile integrity with age, the entire facial architecture shifts inferiorly and medially — manifesting as jowling, nasolabial deepening, and brow ptosis. Concurrently, the dermal layer undergoes collagen fragmentation and elastin degradation, resulting in skin laxity, textural irregularity, and fine wrinkling. A comprehensive non-surgical rejuvenation protocol must address both the structural (SMAS) and surface (dermal) components of facial aging.
Micro-Focused Ultrasound: SMAS-Layer Evidence
Ultherapy Prime utilizes micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) to create thermal coagulation points at precisely controlled depths within the SMAS fascial layer. A prospective clinical trial by Alam et al. treated 35 subjects with a single MFU-V session and evaluated brow position change using standardized photography and digital caliper measurements at 90 days. The study demonstrated statistically significant brow elevation in 86% of subjects, with a mean brow lift of 1.7mm. Subsequent longer-term follow-up studies have confirmed sustained elevation at 12 months. The mechanism involves acute collagen denaturation at focal points heated to 60-70 degrees Celsius, followed by a wound healing cascade culminating in new Type I and Type III collagen deposition — neocollagenesis — along lines of mechanical tension.

Monopolar Radiofrequency: Dermal Tightening Evidence
Thermage FLX delivers monopolar radiofrequency energy that generates uniform volumetric heating across the dermal layer. The biophysical mechanism involves two phases: an immediate phase where existing collagen fibers undergo thermal contraction (accounting for the instant tightening patients report), and a delayed phase where sustained sub-lethal thermal injury triggers fibroblast-mediated neocollagenesis over 3-6 months. Zelickson et al. performed histological analysis of skin biopsies taken before and at intervals after monopolar RF treatment, demonstrating significant new collagen formation in the papillary and reticular dermis at 3 and 6 months post-treatment.

Combination Protocols: Synergistic Outcomes
The rationale for combining MFU-V with monopolar RF derives from their non-overlapping tissue targets and complementary mechanisms. Gold et al. reviewed combination energy-based device protocols for facial rejuvenation and concluded that sequential application of devices targeting different tissue planes produces outcomes that exceed repeated single-device treatments. The key insight is that activating fibroblast populations at multiple depths simultaneously amplifies the total collagen remodeling response. The study emphasized that safety profiles of combination protocols are comparable to single-device treatments when energy parameters are appropriately set and tissue cooling protocols are maintained — consistent with RE:BERRY Gangnam’s clinical experience across thousands of dual-protocol sessions.

Patient Selection and Optimization
Fabi and Goldust reviewed patient selection criteria for combination lifting protocols and identified ideal candidates as those with moderate skin laxity (Fitzpatrick-Goldman Wrinkle and Elastosis Score 2-6), visible jowling or brow ptosis, and realistic expectations. The combination is particularly effective for patients aged 35-65 who wish to delay or avoid surgical intervention. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Dr. Ryu uses DeepSEE ultrasound imaging to assess SMAS thickness and depth — a critical variable that determines Ultherapy’s efficacy. Patients with thin SMAS layers may benefit from modified protocols emphasizing Thermage coverage, while those with thick SMAS layers are excellent candidates for high-shot-count Ultherapy.

What Patients Say About the Combo in Seoul
“I scheduled the combo on my second day in Seoul and was sightseeing in Myeongdong by 5 PM. Four months later, the lifting is remarkable. Everyone at home thinks I had surgery but there was literally no downtime.”
“Comparing the quote I received in Singapore versus RE:BERRY Seoul — the savings were nearly 50%. And Dr. Ryu performed everything himself, which was not the case at the Singapore clinic where a technician operates the devices.”
“The DeepSEE ultrasound screen was fascinating. I could see my own tissue layers and Dr. Ryu explained exactly why he was placing Ultherapy shots at certain depths. The Thermage session afterward was surprisingly comfortable. My jawline definition at 3 months was genuinely transformative.”

At RE:BERRY Gangnam Seoul, the essential combo starts at ₩2,480,000 — roughly 40-60% less. Korea’s competitive aesthetic market keeps pricing among the most accessible globally.
Yes. International patients can book a same-day consultation and treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam. Arrive in the morning, complete consultation and DeepSEE mapping, undergo the combo protocol, and leave by early afternoon. Pre-booking is recommended via WhatsApp (+82-2-039-2822) or LINE (@reberryclinic).
The essential combo includes Ultherapy + Thermage (2 devices). The Signature Lifting Package at ₩5,990,000 includes 4 devices — Ultherapy 530 shots, Sofwave 200 shots, Onda 100kJ, and Revinas 12,000 shots — for a more comprehensive multi-layer protocol. Both are performed in a single session.
Approximately 2-3 hours including 30-45 minutes of numbing. Ultherapy takes 60-90 minutes and Thermage takes 45-60 minutes. The treatments are sequential with no break needed. You should plan to be at the clinic for about 3-3.5 hours total.
Ultherapy involves a warm prickling sensation — typically rated 4-6 on a 10-point pain scale with topical numbing applied beforehand. Thermage FLX is more comfortable, rated 2-3, thanks to the vibrating handpiece and AccuREP auto-calibration. Most patients tolerate the full combo session well.
Some tightening is visible within the first week from Thermage’s immediate collagen contraction. Lifting from Ultherapy develops over 2-3 months. Peak synergistic results appear at 4-6 months when neocollagenesis from both devices is fully mature.
Yes. RE:BERRY Gangnam commonly adds Botox (wrinkle relaxation, jaw slimming) or dermal fillers (volume restoration) to the combo for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation in a single visit. Adding injectables takes an additional 15-30 minutes.
At RE:BERRY Gangnam, all energy-based treatments including Ultherapy and Thermage are performed exclusively by licensed physicians — Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu (Medical Director) or Dr. Yejin Oh. No nurses or technicians operate the devices. This is a key differentiator from many Seoul clinics.
Yes. RE:BERRY Gangnam holds official manufacturer certifications from Merz Aesthetics (Ultherapy Prime) and Solta Medical (Thermage FLX). All disposable tips and cartridges are genuine and traceable. Certification plaques are displayed in the clinic and verifiable with each manufacturer.
Yes. Both Ultherapy (ultrasound) and Thermage (radiofrequency) bypass the skin surface — they do not interact with melanin. This makes them safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI), including darker Asian skin tones. There is no risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is a concern with some laser treatments.
The combo addresses the full face — forehead, brow, temples, periorbital, cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline, jowls — plus the submental area (under chin) and neck. Thermage can additionally treat the body (arms, abdomen, thighs) and Ultherapy can treat the decolletage.
The combo uses energy to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production — no foreign materials inserted. Thread lifts use dissolvable PDO or PCL threads for immediate mechanical lifting but results last only 6-12 months, and threads carry risks of dimpling, asymmetry, and migration. The combo has zero downtime; threads require 3-7 days of recovery.
Absolutely. RE:BERRY Gangnam regularly treats first-time international patients with the combo protocol on the same day as their initial consultation. Same-day treatment is standard practice for medical tourists who have limited time in Seoul.
